Question

□ guam
□ mariana islands
□ midway
□ saipan
□ samoa

Explanation:

During the Allied campaign to retake the Philippines in WWII, they first seized key Pacific islands as staging bases. Guam, the Mariana Islands (which includes Saipan), were captured in 1944 to establish airfields for bombing Japan and support the Philippines invasion. Midway was a 1942 battle that halted Japanese expansion, not part of the Philippines retake push. Samoa was taken earlier in the war, unrelated to this specific campaign.

Answer:

• Guam
• Mariana Islands
• Saipan
